The Igbo Language Club August Newsletter

Ndewo! (Hello!) If you're new to the club, nnọọ (welcome). During our August meeting yesterday, we learned about body parts (akụkụ ahụ) in the Igbo language (n’asụsụ Igbo)!

Next month will be our last meeting of the year. If you missed any of the previous meetings, you are invited to join the September meeting! It will be a very special meeting, so don’t miss out. Vote below to choose the activity for our next meeting!

Here’s what was covered in the August virtual meeting:

Ifeoma Ojukwu was our fantastic instructor! She is an experienced tutor based in Nigeria, passionate about teaching languages. If you are looking for a dedicated and patient tutor, contact her via WhatsApp; she'll be happy to support you on your Igbo language learning journey!

• Onye nkuzi anyị (our teacher) taught us about parts of the body and face (akụkụ ahụ na ihu), ways to describe pain and wellness, and commonly used transitive verbs related to the body in Igbo.

• The presentation slides from the August session include the full lesson, the audio recording to follow along with, and additional resources.

Igbo Movies

Did you know that watching Igbo movies (ihe nkiri) is a great way to learn new vocabulary, improve your comprehension of the language, and learn about Igbo culture? If you’re looking for an Igbo movie to watch, check out this playlist with many of my favs!
